Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

More expansive patch notes and explanations may be found in the specific pathfinder release notes.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[0.15.0] - 2024-11-21

Added

• Pathfinder now fetches data concurrently from the feeder gateway when catching up. The --gateway.fetch-concurrency CLI option can be used to limit how many blocks are fetched concurrently (the default is 8).
• --disable-version-update-check CLI option has been added to disable the periodic checking for a new version.
• Add pathfinder_getClassProof endpoint to retrieve the Merkle proof of any class hash in the class trie.
• add process_start_time_seconds metric showing the unix timestamp when the process started.
• --log-output-json CLI option has been added to output the Pathfinder log in line-delimited JSON.
• Preliminary support has been added for the new JSON-RPC 0.8.0-rc1 specification.

Changed

• Ethereum RPC API now requires Websocket endpoints (prev. HTTP). If an HTTP url is provided instead, Pathfinder will attempt to connect vía Websocket protocol at that same url.
• JSON-RPC 0.4.0 and 0.5.0 API support has been removed.
• JSON-RPC API version 0.7 is now served by default on the / path.

Fixed

• starknet_getBlockWithTxs works with empty blocks`

[0.14.4] - 2024-10-03

Fixed

• Pathfinder stops syncing Sepolia testnet at block 218484 because of a block hash mismatch.

[0.14.3] - 2024-09-23

Fixed

• Pathfinder occasionally corrupts its Merkle trie storage during reorgs and then stops later with a "Node X at height Y is missing" or "Stored node's hash is missing" error.

[0.14.2] - 2024-09-03

Fixed

• Pathfinder sometimes returns an INVALID_CONTINUATION_TOKEN error when requesting events from the pending block and providing a continuation token.
• starknet_getEvents incorrectly returns pending events if from_block is greater than latest_block_number + 1.
• starknet_getEvents incorrectly does not return pending events if from_block is pending and to_block is missing.

Added

• --sync.l1-poll-interval CLI option has been added to set the poll interval for L1 state. Defaults to 30s.
• Support for Starknet 0.13.2.1.

[0.14.1] - 2024-07-29

Fixed

• Pathfinder does not properly limit the number of concurrent executors when using the --rpc.execution-concurrency CLI option.
• Pathfinder returns non-conforming STRUCT_ABI_ENTRY objects in response to starknet_getClass requests.
• Pathfinder returns starknet_getStateUpdate responses that are non-conformant with the specification if there are replaced classes in the response.

[0.14.0] - 2024-07-22

Added

• Support for Starknet v0.13.2.
• Pathfinder now creates a new directory if the database path specified does not exist.
• Pathfinder now has a CLI option (--rpc.custom-versioned-constants-json-path) to allow loading a custom versioned constants JSON file. When specified the contents of the file is then used instead of the latest constants built into the blockifier crate during execution of Cairo code.

Fixed

• Pathfinder exits with an error when detecting a one-block reorg if --storage.state-tries is set to 0.
• Pathfinder returns an internal error for starknet_getTransactionReceipt requests where steps would be zero in COMPUTATION_RESOURCES.

[0.13.2] - 2024-06-24

Fixed

• starknet_getTransactionReceipt responses are missing the payload property in MSG_TO_L1 objects on the JSON-RPC 0.7 interface.
• starknet_traceTransaction and starknet_traceBlockTransactions returns L2 to L1 messages from inner calls duplicated.

[0.13.1] - 2024-06-19

Fixed

• starknet_getTransactionReceipt responses are not compliant with the JSON-RPC specification:
  • L1 handler receipts throw an internal error
  • execution_status and revert_reason properties are missing

[0.13.0] - 2024-06-18

Fixed

• starknet_getBlockWithTxHashes and starknet_getBlockWithTxs returns the pending block with a status property that's not in the JSON-RPC specification. This has been fixed for the JSON-RPC 0.7 API endpoint.
• starknet_traceBlockTransactions and starknet_traceTransaction now falls back to fetching the trace from the feeder gateway for all blocks before Starknet 0.13.1.1.

Added

• /ready/synced endpoint to check if the JSON RPC API is ready and also check if the node is synced. Useful for Docker nodes which only want to be available after syncing.
• Websocket endpoints now serve all JSON-RPC methods, not just pathfinder_subscribe and pathfinder_unsubscribe. Version-specific endpoints have been added for the 0.6 and 0.7 JSON-RPC API and the Pathfinder extension API.
• Websocket endpoint for subscribing to events and transaction status changes.

Changed

• Improved compactness of transaction and nonce data, resulting in noticeable storage savings.

[0.12.0] - 2024-04-23

Added

• Pathfinder now supports storing only the latest state of the Merkle tries. This can be enabled by specifying '--storage.prune-state-tries true' on the command line when creating a new database.
  • When enabled, storage proofs can be generated only for the latest block.
  • Pruned merkle tries take significantly less disk space than full ones.
  • Pathfinder stores this setting in its database and defaults to using that.
  • Once set pruning cannot be enabled/disabled for non-empty databases.
  • Pruning achieves a ~75% reduction in overall storage compared to archive.

Removed

• Support for Goerli testnet

Changed

• Improved compactness of state diff and transaction data, resulting in noticeable storage savings.
  • Roughly a 20% reduction for a state trie archive node, or a 45% reduction for a pruned variant.

[0.11.6] - 2024-04-10

Changed

• blockifier has been upgraded to version 0.6.0-rc.2.

[0.11.5] - 2024-04-02

Changed

• blockifier has been upgraded to version 0.6.0-rc.1.

[0.11.4] - 2024-03-28

Added

• Support for Starknet v0.13.1.1 (lowered declare transaction fees).

Fixed

• starknet_estimateFee and starknet_simulateTransactions can return fee estimates below the minimum fee expected by the sequencer for trivial transactions.

[0.11.3] - 2024-03-13

Fixed

• starknet_estimateFee and starknet_simulateTransactions always uses CALLDATA L1 DA mode if there is no pending block.
• starknet_getTransactionStatus reports gateway errors as TxnNotFound. These are now reported as internal errors.
• starknet_addXXX requests to the gateway use the configured gateway timeout, often causing these to timeout while waiting for a gateway response. These instead now use a much longer timeout.

[0.11.2] - 2024-03-07

Fixed

• starknet_getTransactionStatus reports gateway errors as TxnNotFound. These are now reported as internal errors.
• Sync process leaves a zombie task behind each time it restarts, wasting resources.
• starknet_getEvents does not return a continuation token if not all events from the last block fit into the result page.
• starknet_addXXX requests to the gateway use the configured gateway timeout, often causing these to timeout while waiting for a gateway response. These instead now use a much longer timeout.

Changed

• Default sync poll reduced from 5s to 2s. This is more appropriate given the lower block times on mainnet.

[0.11.1] - 2024-03-01

Fixed

• Transaction hash calculation for transactions using the "query version" flag is broken for starknet_estimateFee and starknet_simulateTransactions.

[0.11.0] - 2024-02-27

Changed

• starknet_getEvents implementation is now using a much simpler implementation that no longer relies on SQLite queries. In general this leads to more consistent query times and a roughly 20% smaller database.
  • The migration step involves computing Bloom filters for all blocks and dropping database tables no longer needed. This takes more than one hour for a mainnet database.
  • The new storage.event-bloom-filter-cache-size, rpc.get-events-max-blocks-to-scan and rpc.get-events-max-bloom-filters-to-load arguments control some aspects of the algorithm.
• The memory allocator used by pathfinder has been changed to jemalloc, leading to improved JSON-RPC performance.
• Improved poseidon hash performance.
• Default RPC version changed to v0.6.

Added

• Support for Starknet v0.13.1.
• Support for RPC v0.7.
• The request timeout for gateway and feeder-gateway queries is now configurable using gateway.request-timeout ("PATHFINDER_GATEWAY_REQUEST_TIMEOUT").

Fixed

• Websocket control frames aren't handled.

[0.10.6] - 2024-02-03

Added

• Performance improvements for starknet_traceTransaction and starknet_traceBlockTransactions via caching
• Performance improvements for the sync process's interaction with the feeder gateway
  • more aggressive timeouts and retry strategy
  • polling pending and latest blocks concurrently
  • using combined requests where possible

[0.10.5] - 2024-02-02

YANKED

This release accidentally contained a mixture of unreleased code and performance improvements, including a somewhat broken database migration.

Users should not use this version.

[0.10.4] - 2024-02-02

Fixed

• starknet_getEvents incorrectly evaluates empty sub-lists in key filters for pending events
• The RPC error UNEXPECTED_ERROR is an object not a string

[0.10.3] - 2024-01-04

Added

• RPC parsing failures now include the error reason when its an invalid JSON-RPC request (invalid request params already include the error reason).

[0.10.3-rc1] - 2023-12-22

Added

• gateway-api-key API_KEY configuration option. If enabled, each time a request is sent to the Starknet gateway or the feeder gateway a X-Throttling-Bypass: API_KEY header will be set.

[0.10.3-rc0] - 2023-12-14

Changed

• Fee estimations are now compatible with starknet v0.13 and incompatible with starknet v0.12.3.

Added

• Added x-request-id header to RPC responses. If the request does not have the header set then an ID is generated. This can be used to identify a specific caller's request/response within the node's logs. Duplicate IDs are possible since they can be set by the caller, so we recommend making your's identifiable with a prefix or using a GUID.
• Improved tracing for RPC requests. These are all logged on trace level under the pathfinder_rpc module. Additional information can also be obtained from tower_http module. These can be enabled by appending pathfinder_rpc=trace,tower_http=trace to RUST_LOG environment variable.
  • Request payload is now logged before execution begins.
  • Logs now include x-request-id header value which can be used to correlate with client requests/responses.
  • Batch logs also include the index within a batch.
• RPC parsing errors now expose the failure reason as part of the errors data field.

Fixed

• v0.5 starknet_simulateTransactions returns internal error instead of ContractError for reverted transactions.
• v0.6 starknet_getTransactionReceipt
  • EXECUTION_RESOURCES fields are hex-strings instead of integers
  • segment_arena_builtin resource is missing
  • v3 transaction price unit type is STRK instead of FRI
• v0.6 starknet_estimateFee, starknet_simulateTransactions
  • v3 transaction hashes are computed incorrectly when using the "query" flag, causing validation errors
  • unit field is missing from fee estimation results
• v0.6 starknet_addDeployAccountTransaction
  • the gateway does not properly return address information for v3 transactions, we now compute the address ourselves
• starknet_getEvents
  • query strategy selection for some events involving a filter on very common keys is slow
• Execution performance for calls involving the pending blocks is much better for trivial calls (like balanceOf).

Changed

• JSON-RPC v0.6 now serves 0.6.0 for starknet_specVersion.

[0.10.1] - 2023-12-05

Fixed

• Execution errors are opaque and don't always include the root cause.
• Pathfinder uses incorrect fee token gas price for gas_consumed calculation for v3 transactions.
• starknet_traceTransaction sometimes returns an "Invalid order number for L2-to-L1 message" error.
• starknet_getTransactionByHash and starknet_getTransactionByBlockIdAndIndex return v3 transactions mapped to v1.

Changed

• JSON-RPC v0.6 support has been updated to v0.6.0-rc5 of the specification.

[0.10.0] - 2023-11-29

Added

• Support for RPC v0.6.0-rc4 via the /rpc/v0_6 endpoint. Note that this does not include the /rpc/v0.6 endpoint as the underscore is now the standard across node implementations.
• Configuration options to selectively enable/disable parts of the node. This can be useful to run tests or benchmarks with isolated components e.g. test RPC methods without the sync process updating the database.
  • rpc.enable configuration option to enable/disable the RPC server. Defaults to enabled.
  • sync.enable configuration option to enable/disable the sync process. Defaults to enabled.
• Support for Sepolia testnet via --network testnet-sepolia
• Support for Sepolia integration via --network integration-sepolia
• Support for Starknet 0.13.0.

Changed

• Default RPC version is now v0.5 (was v0.4). This can be manually configured to any version.
• Goerli testnet network selection is now --network testnet-goerli, removed --network testnet
• Goerli integration network selection is now --network integration-goerli, removed --network testnet
• Reworked newHeads subscription output to more accurately represent header data.

Removed

• Support for testnet2
• Support for RPC v0.3
• --poll-pending configuration option. This is now always enabled and set to 2s.
• --python-subprocesses configuration option. This is superseded by --rpc.execution-concurrency.

[0.9.7] - 2023-11-21

Fixed

• get_block_hash syscall returns 0x0 for the latest available block (current - 10) when executing starknet_trace* methods

[0.9.6] - 2023-11-20

Fixed

• RPC v0.5 incorrectly has a status field in pending starknet_getBlockWithXXX responses.
• Error details for many execution-related issues were not properly sent back to the JSON client and were logged on WARN level instead.

[0.9.5] - 2023-11-09

Added

• Host JSON-RPC on /rpc/v0_x in addition to the existing /rpc/v0.x endpoints. This applies to all supported JSON-RPC versions.

Changed

• RPC errors now only include the root cause if white-listed as non-sensitive
• RPC v0.5 updated from v0.5.0 to v0.5.1

Fixed

• JSON-RPC v0.5 transaction traces now have the required type property.
• JSON-RPC v0.5 L1 Handler receipt is missing the message_hash property.
• JSON-RPC v0.5 use wrong field names in ExecutionResources

[0.9.4] - 2023-11-02

Changed

• RPC methods now use an empty block for pending data if no viable pending data is present. Requests for pending data will no longer fail with BlockNotFound if there is no pending data available, but rather use an empty block on-top of the latest local block.

Fixed

• RPC errors do not always include the root cause. For example, some gateway error messages are not output when pathfinder forwards the request.
• RPC trace object uses wrong property reverted_reason instead of revert_reason.
• RPC execution steps limits have been updated to match the setup of the Starknet sequencer.
• RPC query version bit is now correctly passed through to the blockifier.

Added

• RPC v0.5.0 support
• Added the ability to concurrently process RPC batches, see the rpc.batch-concurrency-limit CLI argument.
• The pathfinder_build_info metric having version label to report current version of Pathfinder.

[0.9.3] - 2023-10-16

Fixed

[0.9.2] - 2023-10-13

Fixed

• RPC server does not set content-type: application/json
• Restored the Websocket subscription features with new configuration keys: rpc.websocket.enabled rpc.websocket.buffer-capacity, rpc.websocket.topic-capacity

[0.9.1] - 2023-10-11

Fixed

• A storage regression causing reorgs to be slow has been fixed.

[0.9.0] - 2023-10-10

Fixed

• State tree updates are slow on disks with low disk IO or high latency (e.g. network attached storage).
• Pathfinder now exits with a non-zero exit status if any of the service tasks (sync/RPC/monitoring) terminates.
• Rare edge case where duplicate blocks caused the sync process to halt due to a A PRIMARY KEY constraint failed error.
• Querying a descync'd feeder gateway causes sync process to end due to missing classes.
• starknet_getStorageAt no longer returns ContractNotFound when querying for non-existent keys for contracts deployed in the pending block.
• starknet_getNonce no longer returns ContractNotFound when querying for nonce of contracts deployed in the pending block.

Changed

• Reworked state tree storage schema. This is not backwards compatible and requires a re-sync.
• Switched to a custom JSON-RPC framework to more easily support multiple specification versions. This may lead to some unexpected changes in behaviour.

Removed

• JSON-RPC subscription support (pathfinder_newHeads). This is temporary while we re-add support to our new JSON-RPC framework.

[0.8.2] - 2023-09-28

Fixed

• JSON-RPC requests containing a Cairo 0 class definition were requiring the debug_info property to be present in the input program. This was a regression caused by the execution engine change.
• Performance for the starknet_getEvents JSON-RPC method has been improved for queries involving the pending block.

Added

• --sync.verify_tree_node_data which enables verifies state tree nodes as they are loaded from disk. This is a debugging tool to identify disk corruption impacting tree node data. This should only be enabled when debugging a state root mismatch.

• RPC v0.4 methods:

  • starknet_traceTransaction
  • starknet_traceBlockTransactions

• Class cache for execution queries which provides a modest increase in performance speed.

Changed

• starknet_getEvents continuation token formatting. The new format is incompatible with the previous format used v0.8.1 and older.

[0.8.1] - 2023-09-07

Fixed

• JSON-RPC requests with unknown parameters are rejected (unknown params were previously ignored)

Changed

• Execution is backed by a Rust-based VM improving performance. We no longer depend on Python code in pathfinder.

Added

• custom Starknet support (see above for details)
• pathfinder specific RPC extensions hosted at /rpc/pathfinder/v0.1. Currently this only contains pathfinder_version which returns the pathfinder version of the node.

Changed

• The following configuration options are now marked as deprecated: --testnet2, --integration, --config, --sequencer-url
• Optimised starknet_events for queries with both a block range and a from address

Fixed

• block timestamps for pending in starknet_call and starknet_estimateFee were using the latest timestamp instead of the pending one. This meant contracts relying on accurate timestamps could sometimes fail unexpectedly.

[0.4.0] - 2022-11-30

Added

• support for Starknet v0.10.2

Changed

• default RPC API version changed from v0.1 to v0.2
